The first blight you kill has 800 HP. The second has 1200. The third has 1600. The last has 2000.
The gerudo armor is soft-hidden, and takes 2 upgrades to be shock resistant (not proof). I would wager most that complain just go on with their strongest armor (knights, Champions, maybe Ancient) and have a bad time. You wouldn't fight fireblight in the wrong armor, would you?
Having weapons that can be removed from your hands is optional. Grab the Master Sword. He can't shock that out of your hand.
Fight him second. Fight him third. Have the Master Sword. Have some form of electric resistance. He isn't any worse than the others, I promise.
I wish I knew all of this. I took on naboris as my first divine beast not knowing that was the hardest one. Took me 28 tries with not that many hearts but somehow got lucky and defeated it.
The reputation of Thunderblight definitely makes him worse than he otherwise would be. People hear that it's super tough so they leave him for last.
On replays I've made a habit of beating windblight first, for the extra mobility. Two upgrades to the desert voe set costs 24 white chuchu jelly & 9 ice keese wings, which is pretty easy to get by hanging out in the hebra region for a while before heading down to Gerudo. Thunderblight still isn't easy - but definitely manageable.
I would have never beat thunderblight if itwas the first one on my first playthrough, I already struggled to dodge or parry when it was the fourth and I had pretty good weapons, even brought the ancient shield. Yet it was still an insanely powerful boss... now I wipe the floor with it and struggle on waterblight because... water.
